http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/exploration/timetravel/index.shtml

Extractions: by Neil Johnson The idea of travelling forward into the future or back into the past has always fascinated science fiction writers. The 'grandfather paradox' is the argument many people use to suggest that time travel is impossible. What if you went back in time and prevented your grandfather from meeting your grandmother so that your mother was never born? Then you would never have been born... and so on. Until very recently such arguments led most scientists to believe that time travel could never exist outside science fiction. But amazingly, some interpretations of the weirdness of the quantum world now suggest that time travel is possible - at least in theory. Gravity and black holes Einstein's theory of relativity brought space and time together in a single, four-dimensional arrangement that he called spacetime. We know that we can travel forwards, backwards and sideways in space, so why not forwards and backwards in time? Four dimensions are difficult to imagine, so physicists usually suggest you think of spacetime as a rubber sheet stretched out flat. If there are no large masses around, the sheet stays flat, and so any object placed on it will move around in straight lines. But a large mass, such as the

Black Holes: The Ultimate Abyss
black holes The Ultimate Abyss by Dr Richard Smith.
http://www.abc.net.au/science/slab/blackholes/story.htm

Extractions: by Dr Richard Smith (Click here for an overview of this article) It used to be thought that the world was flat. That beyond the horizon lurked a bottomless void, measureless to humans. As our ships got better and our navigators more confident, vessels that disappeared over one horizon began returning triumphant from the other. The Earth was curved, a sphere with no edges. We didn't fall off because a mysterious force called gravity kept everyone and everything stuck to the planet's surface. Then Albert Einstein came along and told us that space itself was curved. Now we realise that if we sail off into the sea of curved space we call the Universe, there are indeed bottomless voids that the unwary traveler can fall into - and they are measureless to humans. They lurk on the other side of their own dark horizons, and we call them Black Holes. FATAL ATTRACTION A black hole is an astronomical contradiction - a dark star, an invisible nothing, a prison of light. Its boundary is marked by the so-called Event Horizon , a sphere of darkness that shrouds the inside and defines the point of no return. There is no solid surface beyond, just a bottomless gravitational whirlpool so strong that it sucks everything - even light - relentlessly inward. Oblivion waits at the centre in the form of the

Extractions: formats will be ignored. [Photograph is Please click here if you prefer a non-technical description... I am a member of the Toronto high-energy theory group My goal is to understand the fundamental dynamics of quantum gravity. I study this using string theory, with applications to black holes and cosmology, and links to gauge theory and particle physics. My work to date has concentrated on problems on the gravitational side of string theory. I began with aspects of the black hole information problem, moved to entropy computations when D-brane physics arrived, developed aspects of holographic gravity/gauge dualities useful to black holes and black branes, and most recently concentrated on the search for string theoretic mechanisms for resolution of spacetime singularities. I am also interested in mechanisms for string theoretic prevention of other pathologies in spacetimes, such as regions with closed timelike curves.
General Relativity & Black Holes
Gene Smith s Astronomy Tutorial General Relativity black holes.
http://cassfos02.ucsd.edu/public/tutorial/GR.html

Extractions: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity The General Theory of Relativity is an expansion of the Special Theory to include gravity as a property of space. Start with this Gravity Tutorial The Equivalence Principle The Theory of Special Relativity has as its basic premise that light moves at a uniform speed, c = 300,000 km/s , in all frames of reference. This results in setting the speed of light as the absolute speed limit in the Universe and also produced the famous relationship between mass and energy, E = mc . The foundation of Einstein's General Theory is the Equivalence Principle which states the equivalence between inertial mass and gravitational mass Inertial Mass is the quantity that determines how difficult it is to alter the motion of an object. It is the mass in Newton's Second Law: F = ma Gravitational mass is the mass which determines how strongly two objects attract each other by gravity, e.g. the attraction of the earth: It is the apparent equivalence of these two types of mass which results in the uniformity of gravitational acceleration Galileo's result that all objects fall at the same rate independent of mass: Galileo and Newton accepted this as a happy coincidence, but Einstein turned it into a fundamental principle. Another way of stating the equivalence principle is that gravitational acceleration is indistinguishable from other forms of acceleration. According to this view a student in a closed room could not tell the difference between experiencing the gravitational pull of the earth at the earth's surface and being in a rocketship in space accelerating with a = 9.8 m/s

[gr-qc/9803002] Higher Dimensional Chern-Simons Theories And Topological Black H

http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9803002

Extractions: It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. These black holes share many common properties with the 2+1 black hole. In this contribution we give a brief summary of these new black holes and consider them as solutions of a Chern-Simons gravity theory. We also provide a brief introduction to some aspects of higher dimensional Chern-Simons theories. References and citations for this submission:

Online businesses apps, which are wide open at port 80, put that question to the test daily. Developed for functionality with little thought to security, custom apps are typically vulnerable to attacks such as buffer-overflow exploits, cross-site scripting and SQL injection. If companies don't lock down their Web apps, security risks will increase as corporate dependency on Internet and intranet applications rises, along with site complexity, language depth and overall functionality. The Web apps' exposure to attack is driving the need for developers with both expert application security and deep programming skills. Faced with the need to develop secure applications in the absence of uniform expertise, organizations have two basic options: A range of services that employ security development specialists to design, vet and/or troubleshoot applications.
StarChild: Black Holes
What is a black hole and how do we know it exists?(for K4th graders)
http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/universe_level1/black_holes.html

Extractions: Black Holes Some scientists believe that there is a black hole in our very own Milky Way. Black holes were once massive stars that used up all their fuel . As they died out, they collapsed inward due to the pull of their own gravity . The gravity of a black hole is so powerful that not even light can escape its pull! Once any matter falls into a black hole, it disappears from the visible Universe It is very hard to see a black hole. Any object that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. We only know they are there because of the effects they have on other objects that are near them. Any object, whether some dust, or a star, or anything, that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. As the objects fall toward the black hole, they heat up and get very hot. Scientists can use special instruments to detect the heat the objects give off. That is how we know the black hole must be there.
Central Force With Java

Extractions: The applet below illustrates the orbits of particles in a variety of color-coded forces. (Your browser is not Java aware) Central force refers to a force which always acts towards a fixed point (the center). As the above Applet demonstrates different central forces result in qualitativly different orbits. Some forces produce closed orbits, others a "spirograph" pattern. (The black hole is not described by a force per se see the black hole explanation).

Extractions: A B C D ... Z Born in Wurttemburg, Germany in 1879, Albert Einstein would become one the most respected scientist in the world. Much of his career would be divided between science and politics. He would finish where Max Planck left off and challenge world leadership of the time. However, before Albert Einstein made his mark as a scientist/activist, he worked as a teacher teaching mathematics temporarily at the Technical High School in Winterthur and later teaching at a private school in Schaffhausen. M82 galaxy offers scientist a glimpse into the universe's past. Over taken by powerful space hurricanes, M82 is home to some of the most violent and specticle storms in the universe. With these storms come a cycle that has scientist gazing for answers. This cycle, more than just a collection of storms, is the universe's representation of it's life and it's death.
